"The Lie is what made Lynch what she is today."
Not at all, being a soldier in the service of her country made PFC Lynch what she is today.
Okay Chief, let's take your assertion to its logical end. If being a soldier, in and of itself, is what made Jessica Lynch what she is today, that is a national hero and a household name, then:
1) why aren't the names of all who've died thus far in OIF and in Afghanistan household names? Why don't they have websites dedicated to them? Why haven't songs been written about them?
2) for that matter, why aren't
all the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines serving over there today household names and have books being written about them, and movies of the week about their lives in production?
3) heck, if that's the case, why aren't you and I household names, and have websites dedicated to us? After all, we were once soldiers, and if being a soldier is enough to make Jessica Lynch the celebrity she is today, why not us?
Sorry Chief, your statement doesn't wash. You know as well as anyone else that Lynch, as we know her today, was created by The Lie. You may choose to ignore the truth, but I don't.
